CONFESS!

Recommended Posts

I confess I hate the consumerism, and commercialism of Christmas. The gift giving aspect of it all puts a very sower note on it for me every year, and I get crabby. Why should I have to buy something for some second cousin I never see just because "Christmas is for the kids?" No its not! Christmas should be more like Thanksgiving where people get together, spend time with each other, and enjoy the merriment of each others company.

I confess that I think people who spend a ton of money every year on gifts for their kids are idiots. I heard a lady on the radio that expected her ex-husband to pay for half of the $1,200 she spent on their two kids for Christmas. WTF!?! $1,200? You bloody idiot!!

We've allowed ourselves to be bullied by corporations to keep buying more, and more gifts every year for people to supposedly show how much we care, and love them. I confess that what I really want to do is donate the money I spent on my family for Christmas to a shelter, or charity in their name. I confess that I am currently fantasizing about sending a letter to all of my family members who I would normally send gifts, to explain that I will not be accepting gifts, nor giving gifts anymore, but that I will make a donation to the charity of their choice in their name. I confess that I am fantasizing I will tell them exactly why I would do that, as well.

I confess, that I am now plotting to take the holiday BACK!!

Okay, so now I confess that I have to go to work, so I can buy more presents as my plan will take some time. :(

I confess, Black Jack, that I know how you feel. I have anxieties that increase in intensity and even make me physically ill-- incurring rashes, sinus symptoms, digestive disorders, headaches, muscle twitches, anxiety attacks inclusive of hyperactive perspiration and hyperventilation, muscle soreness and even cramping, sudden attacks of sleepiness, or even mild visual or auditory hallucinations in the worst and most prolonged cases, especially where mild sleep deprivation is an issue, and, in rare instances, dissociative episodes. While they are not specific to social interactions, because one of my deep-rooted fears is that I will be ostracized just for being me, whenever I share much of myself and my opinions, especially those I am most passionate about, I suffer a backlash of paranoia that causes me to withdraw. But I'm fighting it.

BTW, I love the video you posted.

I confess I think the only reason I have a horrible sleep pattern and don't go to sleep till 6 or 7 is because I feel like I'm going to miss something.

I confess I have a very hard time making friends because I am such an introvert. In fact all my friends right now I met through other people and I would really like to make some freinds on my own or just in general and not just pretend to be friendly with people.

I feel like I don't fit in at all and not even in a oh cool I'm unique way more like a oh god I am weirdo thats creeping people out.

I often feel very disconnected from the world like I am just observing the strange behavior of people.

I confess I haven't produced any art work that I'm proud of in 3yrs :(

I confess this thread along with lack of sleep is making me very sad

I confess that I can identify with somewhat, and in some ways have very similar feelings about some of the things mentioned in this post.

Anyone have anything to confess? Your deepest, darkest, dirty secrets you'd like to get out into the open? You just can't take it anymore and wanna get it off your chest...?

This Deadcat?

If you look thru my old boxes of comics you'll find old copies of...

Oh, My Goddess! :whistle:

HEY! That's a damn good series! But yeah I get what you mean Western Vs. Eastern comics...I fall in the middle of both. I love the older western comics and like a lot of the eastern comics overall...okay so I guess my collection is more like 30-70 with manga winning. But I have a HUUUUUUUUUUGE collection.

Haha, Akira actually made sense to me...maybe that just makes me weird though since it's so freaking fast based and sci-fi eccentric.

And...I watch children's shows on a daily basis. And not just cartoons like on Cartoon Network. I mean, like...Max & Ruby and Little Bear and Franklin.

:X

Ditto...but I don't get anything but basic channels. But even if I did then it would just involve Cartoon Network and food network lol.

I feel that way too (about myself, I mean). I also feel like the only reason I get invited to stuff is because my husband gets invited, like he's the one eveyone wants there, and I'm just the crappy accessory that just happens to come with the really cool thing.

Hey, hey! What about people like me? I knew you as Bean and Eternal as Eternal separately! Yeah, that was a while back now but I met you both separately on here and wanted to chill out with you both but by then you were together, which I still want to meet and chill with you guys. But I guess my point is this...I knew you before Eternal was with you and I thought and still think your a wonderful woman. Your always so sweet and caring and your one of the best friends anyone could ever have. :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

One big one I have is I don't really feel like I belong here, hell I don't feel like I belong anywhere. I am a very eclectic person with a wide range of friends and have never felt right at home with any group of people. I feel like I am myself and that I am trying, it's just i'm one of those people that blend well with groups that no one cares if I was there, or not, or dead. I'm not really sad about this it just feels more like a fact now. I tried for a really long time before to be excepted into different groups and eh, ended up saying fuck it. I'm a gamer, a metal head, a techno freak, a dork, a geek, an otaku, an artist, and so many other things I cannot count.

However this does stop me from going to things with people sometimes. And makes me feel as if I will always be mediocre at several things versus awesome at a few. That part I want to change, but i've never been the kind to be invited by people to things. I have been invited to things and have went at times but i'm not the kind who anyone misses if I don't show up. Hell most people forget me off the guest list in the first place and never notice.

I feel like the only thing I can do right is sex.

My greatest fear is of the zombie apocalypse, not because of the zombies. But because it is the perfect condition to be stuck alone forever in. Everyone I loved would die, everyone I had potential with would die, and I would once again be surrounded by zombies...of a different kind.

I have an unhealthy love/understanding with/of death. (Not suicide based.)

I hate stupid people and believe most people in the world to be stupid. Not un-educated but down right stupid. No common sense, no manners, not even a little bit of understanding. :wallbash:
